“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans 8:11 (ESV)
Our promise today is found in the letter to the believers living in Rome. It is and encouragement for them and for us. A logical statement of “If....Then” We can look at it from the conclusion first. We can know that after we die, and our earthly (mortal) bodies are buried in the ground, they will one day be given a new life and made whole. No matter what the measure of decay or scattering of ashes, God's Spirit will give new life to our new bodies. We know this can happen and will happen because it is promised. The same Spirit of God that lives in us is who raised Jesus from the dead and restored his human and earthly life with a new spiritual life. So, if the Spirit of God has done that for Jesus, and since the Spirit of God dwells with us, we are assured that one day after we die, the Spirit of God will regenerate and make new our bodies with a new spiritual life that will be eternal.
